Do yourself a favor for the next holiday season: When putting away your Christmas lights, instead of stuffing them in a box, wrap them around a plastic hanger. No more tangled mess of lights to struggle with!

If you use a hanger with the little hooks on the body, you can use those to anchor the ends of the lights. And thanks to the hanger's top hook, you can even hang the whole thing up for storage.
